Description

If you’re an experienced carer in Cradley Heath looking to move away from agency rotas, PrimeCarers can help you take control. We connect self-employed private carers with families needing reliable hourly home care during the day — helping with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands so people can stay safe and comfortable at home across Cradley Heath and nearby areas.

Right now, 24 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The work is daytime, hourly visits in clients’ own homes across Cradley Heath and the wider West Midlands. You’ll meet people who need practical help getting up, washing, dressing, eating and taking medication, plus light household tasks and shopping runs. Visits are usually an hour or two, but the families you choose will set the pattern with you. PrimeCarers is aimed at carers who prefer the variety and dignity of one-to-one support rather than shifting from call to call.

As a PrimeCarers carer you’re self-employed: you set your own rates, choose clients, hours and exactly where you’ll work within your service area. Typical hourly pay sits within £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and includes insurance while you’re working so you can focus on care, not paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

This setup suits people who already have at least one year of professional care experience and who can supply verifiable references. You must have the right to work in the UK and an Enhanced DBS check; if you don’t have a current DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. We welcome carers who want predictable daytime hours, better continuity with clients and the chance to build regular work across Cradley Heath, Netherton, Lye, Brierley Hill, Rowley Regis, Halesowen and Dudley, or wherever you prefer to serve in the area.

There’s no single advertised post here — we’re advertising ongoing self-employed opportunities for reliable, experienced carers ready to work with families in their own homes. If you want more control over who you support and when, PrimeCarers gives you the tools and support to make it happen. Create a profile, verify your documents, and start accepting clients once your profile is live.

If you’d like to find out more or start an application, it really does take only a few minutes. We’ll walk you through each step and get your profile visible to local families so you can begin arranging the visits that suit your life and skills.
